Vantis wants to become the world’s first necromancer and finally step out of his brother’s shadow. Unfortunately, there are a few things getting in his way:

💸 the sudden loss of his research funding
🧙🏾 his ecoterrorist brother
⚔️ an impending war
🌊 environmental disasters

Yellow text at the top reads: The Ocean Rising, a Climate Fantasy by Annie Carew. Yellow text along the bottom reads: adult fantasy. 110K words. Complex family dynamics. Necromancy and other strange magic.

A ship floats on a still sea. The night sky is filled with stars that are reflected in the water. Below the surface, a massive shadow swims past.

I’ve been having a really bad time lately so thank god for kitties who love to snuggle 🥺
A tiny orange cat is curled up with his paw under his chin. You can see a glimpse of the softest tummy in the world and also a bit of toof. He is asleep and perfect

Sebastian timeline cleanse. When he gets really excited, he goes into plow pose
An orange cat rolls belly-up in a pool of sunlight. He’s sort of in a plow pose because he is a tiny weirdo. He is perfect.

I also read a 1400-page ebook in two days. Big brain week for Annie
The screen of an e-reader summarizing reader stats for “The Grace of Kings” by Ken Liu. 8.1 hours of reading, average 13 minutes per session, average 2.3 pages per minute.

I would like the public record to reflect that I wrote 180 lines of code in under four hours today

Look at these pretty graphs!!!!
A computer monitor displays a grid of tiny scatterplots. The creator of the graphs worked very hard to write a single line of code that made this possible

A tiny orange cat lays with his beautiful pale tummy in the air. His front paws are flopping around because he is a giant baby. His eyes are somehow both sleepy and chaotic. He is perfect

I’ve been having a tough time lately but I sent five queries last night and my cat looks at me like this so it’s not all bad
An orange cat gazes adoringly into the camera. He is upside-down from this perspective but he is still perfect

Proud to have attended #StandUpForScience2025 yesterday in DC. Science encourages creativity and compassion. Science saves lives. We cannot let this attack on science stand. #womeninscience

Why would I get out of bed and deal with anything when he looks like that looking at me like that 🥹

Feeling very muffled screaming about the news so here’s a Sebastian timeline cleanse

PS call your reps
A tiny pale orange cat yawns. His mouth is a maw of pink tongue and sharp teeth. He is sleepy and perfect.

He has no idea what NSF or NIH or WHO or FEMA do to support public health and scientific research and right now I envy him

The world is very *dialup noise* so I’m going to start sharing more Bash content.

In case you were wondering, this man is my entire camera roll.
A pale orange cat stretched across an unmade bed, belly-up, arms and legs extended to their full length. You have never seen a cat so uncurled in your entire life.

So clearly I cannot travel in early January ever again—I either miss the best Maryland snow of the year or it makes my travel plans stressful.

At least Bash got to experience last year’s snow.
A young woman holds an orange cat in the snow. The cat is not looking at the camera but he is still perfect. Moments after this photo was taken, the cat ran inside.
